WordPress-as-a-Service: Cloud-Based Content Delivery and Development Platform for Today’s Internet

Introduction

Does WordPress run the world? It’s possible, based on surveys that indicate that nearly % of all Web sites on the Internet are developed and managed using the open source WordPress platform.Created more than a decade ago as an open source blog and content management tool, designed to make Web publishing easy and intuitive for non-developers, the tool has evolved to encompass advanced plug-in and application programming interface (API) functionality; as well as cloud-basedaccess, allowing delivery through an “as-a-Service” model.

The enhanced capabilities and easier access have fueled continued growth, making the platform attractive to Web site owners, contentmanagers, and even application developers.

As WordPress grows in popularity, savvy Web service providers are leveraging this growth to create a new “as-a-Service category”: WordPress-as-a-Service. WordPress-as-a-Service enables easy, cloudbased access to the content management tool, while helping businesses to ensure that they have the latest—and safest—of WordPress themes and plug-ins. In many cases, providers also handle routine WordPress management tasks for the customer—such as code updates, the addition and vetting ofnew themes and plug-ins to the WordPress environment, and security assurance.

In this SPIE, Stratecast examines the rise of WordPress as a development tool, and its growth in popularity among both blog and business users. We look at the inception of WordPress-as-a-Service, as well as the benefits to providers and customers. Finally, major providers in the market today are profiled.
